Episode Details

We've all felt it — the sting of being hurt by the very place that's supposed to bring healing. In this episode, we dig into the uncomfortable but necessary question: do you actually want to be healed, or have you settled into a victim mentality? Using the story of the invalid man at the pool of Bethesda, we walk through four categories of church hurt — from minor offenses to legitimate betrayal to critical abuse — and what healing looks like for each. Because church hurt isn't a matter of if, but when. And Jesus didn't just survive betrayal — He rose as the ultimate victor, inviting us out of victimhood and into new life.
